Truffles - Found Some, Now What?

Last night while hiking I discovered some truffles on my large wooded property. My question is, now what?!?

I am by no means a truffle connoisseur. I am doing my best to read up on them, identify the strain thriving on my property (so far, they appear to be “Oregon White Truffles”). I have removed and sliced just one, it looks to be “underdeveloped” at this time (the fine membranes and pockets have not yet thoroughly formed). So I am giving them more time to mature.

How does one like me sell truffles? Should I contact a local restaurant, or high end market?

If it was underground and smells truffly or mushroomy it's likely a truffle.

Note there've been many past threads re truffles and the cautions (re limited flavor and aroma) about those other than classic types from classic truffle-growing regions. The Bay Area has a long history (I recall at least back to middle 1980s) of people finding truffles in the woods, they're actually common around large tree growths. Alas, generally they've been, like most truffle species (Davidson I believe identified something like 50 examples), weak in aroma and flavor and not something to get chefs or retailers interested.

(This reminds me slightly of a perennial topic of newcomer posts on online wine discussions: I just found an old bottle behind my mother's refrigerator, vintage 1969. How rich will this make me? Unfortunately such wines are usually worthless because poorly stored, if they even were quality products to start with.)

Smells like mushroom /earth, but doesn't have that "garlicy" smell that (cheap) truffle oil has, so I don't know... Found underground (we were doing trail maitenance), in old growth forest.

I don't think I am going to get rich off of these, or quit my day job ;) But, if I could add some holiday money to my pocket, it would be worth it to me to harvest them. Not to mention I am sure a few of my foodie friends would appreciate some as a gift. - But, they may prove worthless, which would be of no cost to me.

I agree I find them dull and not worth it.Also, I highly suggest you follow Robert's suggestion and have an expert identify as some of these things can cause a very quick death due to shut down of functions , especially kidney.
